At least 65 Palestinians have been killed and tens of thousands displaced since Israel launched an intensive military raid in the northern West Bank on January 21.
Four Palestinians, including an elderly woman, have been killed by Israeli army forces in Jenin, amid an escalating incursion in the occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health said in a statement that the General Authority for Civil Affairs informed it of the killing of two young men by the occupation forces in two neighborhoods of Jenin on Tuesday, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported. However, their identities have not yet been identified, and no further details were provided.
Their killings followed that of Faiza Ibrahim Abu Ghali, 58, by the Israeli occupation forces in the eastern neighborhood of Jenin, according to WAFA.
Earlier, the news agency cited the Red Crescent Society as saying that the woman’s body was transferred from the Jalameh military checkpoint to the Jenin Governmental Hospital.

Sabah said the village has come under repeated attacks by illegal settlers in recent years as the Israeli army continued to disrupt the movement of residents by blocking all entry points to the area.
According to figures released by the official Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, Israeli actions have displaced 29 Palestinian communities of around 2,000 people in the West Bank from October 7, 2023, to December 2024.
In February alone, illegal settlers carried out 230 attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank, the commission said.
